Here are a few simple guidelines to help you design and list a perfect activity on EvenPanda.

4. 3. Packaging an activity (A)
 Title
Try to keep it short and catchy. One-liners only.
 Description
Write it to sell it. Make sure to cover everything important here, including the key points from designing your
activity. You can always edit this later.
 Category
You can choose up to two categories for an activity. The categories are:
• Arts & Culture • Geeky
• Bizarre • Good cause
• Body & Mind • Music & Performance
• Entrepreneurship • Nature & Outdoors
• Fashion& Shopping • Nightlife
• Food & Drinks • Sports & Games
• Urban discovery
 Group size
Keep the group size manageable and personable. You can choose a minimum and maximum amount of
available spots by dragging the slider. We currently allow groups up to 30 people. If you have a good
reason to invite more participants, please contact us.
 Duration
Set the default duration as precise as possible. In case you are not entirely sure how long it will take (or if
the duration depends on the participants) – make sure to mention this in the description.

5. 3. Packaging an activity (B)
 Meeting point
Enter the exact address and choose an easily recognizable meeting point. Add a description below if
necessary or a reference to a Google Map. Only people who booked it will be automatically communicated the
exact location.
 Pricing
Set the price for your activity. The price needs to be a minimum of $10. We currently only support USD. When
deciding about the price, consider both your real costs (resources and time) and what participants might be
willing to pay. Please specify what the price includes.
Any new activity will need to be hosted twice before it can be considered ‘vouched’ on EvenPanda. Until an
activity is vouched, the price will be discounted. This will market your activity and give you a chance early-on
to test and collect valuable feedback to improve it. Your first customer reviews will also work hard for you to
promote it future customers. A win-win for everyone! You can choose the rate of discount, between 20% to
80%.
 Pictures
A picture speaks louder than a thousand words. You can upload up to 4 pictures and 1 video. Make sure to
select your default picture, which will be used to promote the activity in the marketplace. Pictures should be in
gif, jpeg or png format and less than 4 Mb.
Attract attention by selecting high-quality pictures of your activity. Having a professional camera is not a must,
using free tools such as Instagram (for iPhone), Camera 360 (for Android) or editing tools like Picnik.com will
go a long way.

6. 4.5.6.7 Promoting, hosting & evaluating
 Tags
Add up to 5 tags to your activity to help people find you, use your ‘tab’ or ‘,’ to separate tags. You can find
good tags in your activity description. Example: Entrepreneurship, urban, Singapore, startup, technology.
4. Presenting yourself
Update your biography and make sure it describes why you’re the right person to host this activity and why
participants will have a great time!
5. And if you want to sing out…
Don’t keep your activity a secret! Share it with your friends and networks through social media, so they can
join and help spread the word.
6. Booking & Payment
For the booking process and payment conditions, please refer to our terms & conditions or FAQ. For the
payout you will need to have a PayPal account, or choose a Moneygram payout option (old style). Please
check it under Account Settings.
7. Evaluation
Successful hosting depends on whether expectations of participants got fulfilled, i.e. what has been promised
in the description was delivered.
Once you hosted an activity, encourage participants to write reviews. This is an excellent way to show and
receive appreciation, learn and improve your activity! The more reviews you receive the more trusted you are
as a host.
